Support for Mekane Yesus School of Jazz Music and Media, Addis Ababa

The Mekane Yesus School of Jazz Music and Media is the only church-owned educational institution in Ethiopia dedicated to producing leaders in Worship music. It draws from Ethiopia´s rich tradition of its own jazz style which has a long history of fusing elements of Ethiopian traditional music with Western music and fosters contemporary church music which is rooted in Ethiopian music traditions while integrating sacred music and Gospel. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the school has encountered substantial financial losses in 2020, many educational programs could not take place and many students and their families cannot continue their studies with further scholarships and tuition waivers.
